Morphology is the study of word structures and formation. Words are made up of smaller meaningful units called morphemes, which can be free or bound. Free morphemes can stand alone as words, while bound morphemes need to be attached to other morphemes. Words are formed through processes like prefixation, suffixation, compounding, conversion and others. Understanding morphemes and their combinations reveals the internal structures of words.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Brief Introduction of Morphology
1. University of the Punjab , Department of English Language & Literature.
Lahore, Pakistan
2. Morph = form or shape
Ology = study of
• The study of internal structures of words
• How words are constructed out of smaller units
(morphemes)
– Which have a meanings or grammatical function
e.g.
– friendly ----- constructed from friend & adjective
forming -ly
• How words can be modified
5. Basic Concept Of Word Structure
• The number, order of and type of morphemes
– used to make up a particular word is called its
structure
• Morphologists study
– the meanings of the various morphemes
– their patterns of distribution { the structures}
• Morphemes do not combine in arbitrary ways
– They have specific patterns to the distribution of
morphemes
– e.g. rewrite = write-re, walks = s-walk
• The structure of words can be represented by trees
6. Classification Of Morphemes
Free Morphemes/ roots
if morpheme is able to appear as a word by
itself
Bound Morphemes/ affixes
if morpheme can only appear as part of a
larger, multi-morphemic
7. Basic Concepts and Terms
Stem (root, base): the morpheme to
which other morphemes are
added
free (e.g. teacher, dresses, unkind)
Stem
bound (e.g. inept, unkempt)
8. Stem & Affix
Stem : carries the basic meaning
Affixes /attachments carry additional, often grammatical
meanings
KINDS OF AFFIXES
Suffixes: are attached to the end of the stem;
Prefixes: are attached to the front of the stem;
Infixes: are put in the middle of the word;
Ablaut: is a change in a vowel that carries extra meaning;
• Suffixes are the most common e.g.
– the past tense : matter of adding -ed to the stem;
– the present participle is made by adding -ing;
– the plural of a noun is made by adding -s.
10. Allomorphs
• When a morpheme is pronounced by more than one sound
pattern, we call the variations allomorphs e.g.
• English plural morpheme –s is pronounced in three ways:
– dogs (dog[z]) cats (cat[s]) judges (judg[ɪz])
-s [z] -s [s] -s [ɪz] an allomorph of the plural
morpheme
• To describe this situation, we can say:
– English has one plural morpheme, -s.
– English has three allomorphs of the plural morpheme
• Another example: English indefinite article
– English has two allomorphs of an indefinite article:
– a dog an apple
13. Bound Morpheme
Derivational Inflectional
form new words Different forms
of the same word
may change syntactic class Not change syntactic
class
-able, un-, re-, etc ’s, -s, -ing, -ed/-
en, -est,er
14. Word Structure
• Words are the fundamental building blocks of
language
• Intuitively, learning a language learning
words
• Words may be the basis for the organization of
language in the brain:
• sound system words syntax
meaning
15. Word Structure
• Each word has internal structure
– A word is not just a sequence of morphemes
• Morphemes are added in a strict order - reflecting a hierarchy
within the word e.g. “unsystematic”
The first step
– attaches a derivational sufix “atic”
– to the (free) root noun
– This forms an adjective
The second step
– takes this adjective,attache a derivational prefix “un”
– create a new word, with the same category word
“unsystematic”
18. Some Rules
• Noun + atic Adjective (Systematic)
• Un + Adjective Adjective (Unhappy)
• Adjective + al Adjective
(Egotistical, Fantastical)
• Noun + al Adjective
(Autumnal, National)
• Adjective + ly Adverb
(Happily, Hopefully)
• Using these rules, work out the tree structure for
“unsystematically”
20. The Tree Represents
• The application of two morphological rules
1.Noun+ atic→Adjective systematic
2.Un+Adjective→Adjective unsystematic
– The rule for -al is as follows
3.Adjective+al→Adjective
– Another affix is -ly, which is added to adjective to
form adverb
4. Adjective+ly→ Adverb
22. More Rules
• Not all derivational morphemes cause a change in grammatical
Class
– friend+ship, human+ity, un+do, re+cover, in+flammable
• This is often the case with prefixes:
– a+moral, auto+biography, ex+wife, super+human, re+pri
nt, semi+annual
• suffixes:
– vicar+age, old+ish, America+n, music+ian
• Best to be familiar with a few examples of
• Noun Adjective, Adjective
Adverb, Verb Adjective, Adjective
Verb,
Verb Noun
24. 1. Compounding
• Two or more words joined together to form a
new word.
• Examples:
–Pick + pocket pickpocket
–Home + work homework
• The meaning of a compound is not always the
sum of the meanings of its parts
29. 2. Prefixation
• Class-changing prefixes:
– a- asleep V to Adj
– be- bewitch N to V
– en- enslave N to V
• Class-maintaining prefixes:
– in- indefinite Adj to Adj
– fore- foreman N to N
– Etc.
30. 3. Suffixation
• Suffixes forming Nouns
–N from N: -dom kingdom
–N from V: -ee employee
–N from Adj: -ce dependence
32. Forming adjective, adverbs
• Suffixes forming adjectives
–Adj from N: -al educational
–Adj from V: -able understandable
–Adj from Adj: -ish greenish
• Suffixes forming Adverbs: -ly, -ward, and –
wise
33. 4. Conversion
• Assigning an already existing word to a new
syntactic category
• Types of Conversion
– Verb to Noun: to hit a hit
– Adj to N: a final game a final
– N to V: a sign to sign
– Adj to V: an empty box to empty
34. 5. Clipping
• part of a free morpheme is cut off
(i.e., shortening a polysyllabic word); often
in casual speech
prof. auto
lab ad
bike
doc sub
35. 6. Blends
• similar to compounding
• but parts of the free morphemes involved are lost
• (usually 1st part of 1st word + end of 2nd word)
brunch (breakfast+ lunch)
smog (smoke+ fog)
motel (motor+ hotel)
newscast (news + broadcast)
perma-press (permanent press)
36. 7. Back-formations
• A word (usually a noun) is reduced to form
another word of a different type (usually a
verb)
editor edit
donation donate
burglar burgle
zipper zip
television televise
babysitter babysit
37. 8. Acronyms (1)
• abbreviate a longer term by taking the initial
letters
A. follow the pronunciation patterns of Eng
NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization)
TOEFL (Test of Eng. as a Foreign Language)
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
NASA (National Aeronautics & Space Administration)
38. Acronyms (2)
B. If unpronounceable each letter is sounded out
separately
ATM (automatic teller machine)
I.Q. (intelligence quotient)
MRT (Mass Rapid Transit)
MTV (music television)
TVBS (television broadcasting service)
VCR (video cassette recorder)
39. Acronyms (3)
C. Customary to sound out each letter even if
the combined initials can be pronounced.
AIT (American Institute in Taiwan)
UCLA (Univ. of California at Los Angeles)
40. 9. Onomatopoeia
• words imitate sounds in nature (or in technology)
A dog: bow wow or woof-woof
A clock: tick-tock
A rooster: cock-a-doodle-doo
A camera: click
A duck: quack
A cat: meow
Ring of a bell: ding-dong
A cow: moo
A bee: buzz
A snake: hiss
41. 10. Eponyms
• A person after whom a
discovery, invention, place, etc., is named
• Examples:
–Celcius (Anders Celcius)
–Cook Islands (James Cook)
42. 11. Toponyms
a place name, especially one derived from a
topographical feature
• Examples:
– Montana (‘mountains’ in Spanish)
– Mississippi (‘big river’ in Chippewa)
43. 12. Reduplication
full or partial repetition of a free morpheme; sometimes
with variation
full with variation
so-so zigzag
bye-bye dilly-dally
hotch potch
mishmash
44. 13. Coining
• Creating a completely new free
morpheme, which is unrelated to any existing
morphemes; a rare thing
e.g. googol
pooch
Nylon
46. Summary of Morphology
• Words consist of meaningful units called morphemes
• These, when afixed to a root, can change the meaning or
category of a word
• Two basic forms of word formation
– derivation (using derivational morphemes)
– inflection
• Key to remember is that morphemes are the smallest
meaningful Units
• Words have internal structure in a similar way to sentences
